DAYTON — The family of an Illinois truck driver fatally shot by a guard at a southwestern Ohio
truck stop last year is suing.

Goran Sojic, 48, was killed by a 25-year-old guard at a Love’s truck plaza in Dayton on Dec. 8.
Sojic was unarmed, but witnesses said he was acting erratically, and he aggressively approached the
guard.

The
Dayton Daily News reported that Sojic’s widow and child have filed a federal
wrongful-death lawsuit against the guard, the security company and the truck-stop company. Their
attorney said the guard acted inappropriately and that the truck-stop company was negligent.

The defendants denied the allegations in court filings.

No charges have been filed against the guard, but Dayton police say the investigation is
ongoing.
